Former Trump admin member critically injured in Washington DC carjacking rampage: reports

I think he has now died

 

Oakland’s only Denny’s restaurant has closed for good.

The restaurant, located in the 600 block of Hegenbeger Road, was shut down because of safety concerns, the company confirmed. Denny's corporate released the following statement Thursday morning:

"Denny’s has been honored to serve the Oakland community over the last 54 years. Closing a restaurant location is never an easy decision or one taken lightly. However, the safety and well-being of Denny’s team members and valued guests is our top priority. Weighing those factors, the decision has been made to close this location.

"Denny’s offers its heartfelt thanks to the team members and the local community for their love of the Denny’s brand; it has been a pleasure serving you. Team members who are able to relocate will be offered positions elsewhere, where available."

The area of Hegenbeger Road has been plagued by robberies and car break-ins.

"I don't want it to be where there is nowhere for us to go because people are in fear," Oakland resident Jahlilah Johnson said. "A lot of people are moving out of state. A lot of people don't want to visit. Don't nobody want to come somewhere where they are going to get robbed."

Yes, heard that update.

 

On another note, it seems even the criminals do not want to stay in NYC or other Leftist havens.  It must grind the regressives that the money made from the illegal activities is not contributing to the NY tax base, nor the local economy.

 

‘Oh!’ CNN Anchors Left Speechless When Expert Tells Them Why Cop-Attacking Migrants Didn’t Stay In Florida

 

“One of them that they are still seeking has ten charges on one day because he’s part of a pattern that’s been going on,” Miller said. “And I’m looking at the dates that their arrests started, which is probably close to when they got here. They’ve only been here a couple of months.”

 

He then described their pattern of traveling to Florida to spend money before returning to NYC to steal more.

 

“So what the detectives are telling me is they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing, then go to Florida to spend the money and then come back,” he said.

“And I’m like, well, why don’t they just stay and steal in Florida?” Miller continued. “And they said, because there you go to jail. ”

 

That got an “Oh!” from Hill and a “Wow” from Mattingly before a couple of seconds of awkward silence ensued live on air.

 

“Great reporting,” Mattingly then said. “Keep us posted on this.”

I forgot that and yes it was on CNN and the anchor did not know what to say.

I think what made them speechless was the possibility that actually prosecuting crime might actually be a deterrent.

Denver Mayor just on CNN.

 

Somewhat embarrassing, he obviously had no clue as to Asylum etc works. Nor did the CNN host.

 

DENVER — On Monday, more than 120 migrant families will leave the shelters where they are staying.

They will be the first of about 800 who will be forced to leave as they time out of shelters over the next couple of weeks. The city had initially paused shelter exits due to the colder weather, but due to space and timing, that pause will end this week. 

"We have filled every single hotel room that we have available in the city and county of Denver," Mayor Mike Johnston said during a town hall Tuesday.

Even with people leaving the shelters, the mayor expects the total number of people staying in shelters will remain the same -- somewhere around 4,000 to 5,000. 

As of Sunday night, 3,857 migrants are currently being sheltered within the city and county of Denver. On Sunday, 101 arrived, also needing a place to go. 

"Now we have the terrible decision that if we don’t start exiting folks, we will have 250 folks that will arrive today or the day after who don’t have anywhere to go on night," Johnston said Tuesday.

 

Now anyone who has been to Denver knows this is not true:

 

The downtown area is home to more than 13,000 rooms within short walking distance of the Colorado Convention Center, and there are more than 58,000 first-class hotel rooms in the greater metro area.

Begs the question why a sanctuary city like Denver is not forcing every hotel to house migrants/asylum lottery seekers.

That is a very obvious question and one that none of the media seem to address.

Dearborn Named 'America's Jihad Capital,' Mayor and Biden Respond About the Way You’d Expect

The Wall Street Journal did everyone a service Friday by publishing an op-ed entitled "Welcome to Dearborn, America's Jihad Capital: Imams and politicians in the Michigan city side with Hamas against Israel and Iran against the U.S."  This was an eyebrow-raising exposition by Steven Stalinsky of the indispensable Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) of how numerous Islamic leaders and other public figures in Dearborn have openly supported Hamas, which the State Department still officially considers to be a jihad terror group.  Instead, however, of concern about open support for terror in Dearborn, the article has given rise to concerns — expressed even by the Biden regime — about "Islamophobia."  [...]

Ahh, what's wrong with a little corruption among bureaucrats.  Heck, many bureaucrats in Ukraine are getting rich, and let's not forget how the heads of Hamas amassed their massive wealth.
